Analysis of dry sliding wear behaviour of Al6061/SiC/Al2O3 hybrid metal matrix composites

TLDR
In this paper, the wear behavior of Al6061-T6 discontinuously reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) composite is investigated.
Abstract
This paper presents the wear behaviour of Al6061-T6 discontinuously reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) composite. The test specimens are prepared and tested as per ASTM standard. The experiments are conducted by using a pin on disc wear tester. Empirical relation is established to estimate the wear using statistical regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that the wear resistance of the 15% hybrid composite is better than that of the 5% composite. The fracture surface of composites shows the ductile tear ridges and cracked SiC and Al2O3 particles indicating both ductile and brittle fracture mechanism.

Fabrication characteristics and tribological behavior of Al/SiC/Gr hybrid aluminum matrix composites: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized various features of Al/SiC/Gr hybrid composites that can be employed in different tribological applications, and showed that the addition of Gr particles helps in the formation of a thick and extensive tribolayer on the wear surface, thereby decreasing the wear rate under certain conditions.
